the Progressive Populist Robert Reich has an excellent article on the Obstructionist Republicans...

Here is something I found interesting and alarming in his article

"GOP TRIES TO PENALIZE ACORN. Republicans took their vendetta against ACORN, the community organizing group that was criticized for its voter registration efforts, to the economic recovery bill as Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) offered an amendment that would have prohibited ACORN from receiving any funding from programs paid for by the stimulus bill. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) pointed out that ACORN volunteers rehabilitated some 3,500 homes in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The amendment was defeated 51-45. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), Robert Byrd (D-W.V.), Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) voted with the GOP."

Is this true? Shame on Tester and Baucus if they did!
